I felt that “I’m tired bro” in my soul

[@patrickchatmon7074]

I pray everything is blessings for ya brah

[@terrencetrafton4553]

me too

[@GeoDavis1012]

That shit was powerful. When he said it, multiple faces crossed my mind. It is a shame how we treat each other. Not just as black people but as human beings period. We prefer to troll and talk shit rather than listen or to help. The way we are as humans combined with poor gun laws equal these mass shootings. NRA is right, people kill people. The same people we troll and talk shit about, the same people we bully or belittle are going out buying guns and killing everybody!

[@bigfleece]

It was pissing me off when they kept cutting him off to give broad surface level advice. Just let him vent everything off his chest & be a listening ear. He’s not asking for a solution. I know exactly how he feels

On god homie! The whole “I been trynna find good people for so long” too in only 32 years. I’ve had to live so many different lives, and never the one I truly wanted… IM TIRED BRO

[@kiecutielove2923]

Heavy weight, it's a real burden

[@nwananka]

When you've been taken advantage of for most of your life. I pray he can build trust again

[@jasonclarke9351]

I watched this episode repeatedly because this was so powerful the thing is he allowed them too take advantage of him like he said he was hesitant to cut his family off completely he said he can’t explain a million dollar problems to somebody who haven’t seen $10 before he should’ve done what Lebron did and cut off family&friends for awhile and then reunite with them when everything gets situated this why I keep telling some people any time you getting ready to embarked or start a career you gotta have the right circle around you to protect and secure your future so it wouldn’t be no setbacks or costly mistakes or people using and stealing from you for their own beneficiary and then shit on you later when you down and out this why I don’t trust nobody so when people tell me I ain’t got no friends I don’t feel bad about it because I have my own reasoning smaller the circle get the better it is for me.

I’m going through this now ….

[@jaceeoriginated1983]

I know this feeling all too well 😢 I’m tired too…😔

[@DosesOfZia]

Depression & anxiety are tough. All he needed in this moment was a hug. I pray he makes it. 😢

[@PancakeBO]

I try to explain that . Its like a man complex to ask for a hug and say im so tired and need help is a weakness but people can only take so much.

[@kinglileverything]

Please nvr understand the power of a hug. I was going thru alot of stuff in 2016 and no one knew it and some woman I worked with just came up to me out no where and just hugged me

[@Dayff42]

I'm 27 and as soon as he said "I'm tired" my body just forgot how to breath and I started to cry like hell. I fell you ma man. I'm trying every day not to quit and the only thing keeping me here is the fear of death. I pray for any brother, friend, randon person on the street or whoever you is that you can make and you'll find any kind of peace cause I don't think I got what it takes anymore to becoming happy and trust people. All my life I wanted a family, building a house, plant a tree and all that shit but today I don't even know if I endure the following week. Therapists tell you to speak to people and engage with people but in my opinion that's not reality, at least where I come from there is no understanding for completely broken people. I've been alone my whole life cause my mother didn't want me and ran away my father was at work from 6am to 6pm and drank after. All my youth I thought I got it, this life thing is easy but somehow I ended up being almost no human anymore. I can't take it anymore, somehow I just want the pain to end

[@jonathanmitchell7551]

What's crazy is I used to be that loyal guy. Took a bullet for those who I thought were friends. When the Dr said you'll never walk again, they started disappearing.. That was the darkest time of my life. I wanted to die. I laid in piss and s**t because I didn't care. I remember who I was. MAN. Mentally Adapted Naturally. I got my s**t together and with no therapy but me working my legs myself. I've been walking for over 20 years. We can never stop fighting the fight Bro!!! Please.. Shalom..

This is why we are supposed to share our weaknesses with people. It breaks the illusion that people have it all together and makes reaching out for help a realistic option. What a sweet man. I hope he found his tribe.

[@j-us-t_be-in-g]

You will never have it together in this current society because you're forced to always chase things, and that never ends. You don't get it. You have to kiss ass to get what you want, and people are tired of that. This society is about favoritism. There's no help when everyone needs it.

[@evelynfrederick]

@@j-us-t_be-in-g People with no self respect are kissing ass. No one actually needs to do that. Who has been teaching you this mess

[@macanina100]

Share your weakness, and they will prey on you. It’s thin line with who can be trusted and who can’t and who actually cares.

[@evelynfrederick]

@@macanina100 yeah. There is wisdom in knowing who we can trust. But there's also comfort and understanding that if someone can't help you it's because they themselves are struggling and weak. So don't be so cynical

[@knowughetto]

If you're going to share your weaknesses, do it with people you can relate to. You shouldn't be open to sharing your weaknesses with any random person. They'll use that to their advantage while taking advantage of you. Reality is that most people don't care about you or your struggles.

[@trewesttv7209]

You can tell when Beasley is crying those tears aren’t just for the current conversation that evoked that emotion. There is deep pain in that man’s soul after the loss of a mother, the sport that you love to play feels like it doesn’t like you back in its biggest stage but he’s resilient and as he likes to say HE’S ONE OF THEM ONES always for faith in Beasley 🔥

[@snoopyblu1206]

You can tell Mikes mind is so messed up it's sad because he seems like a good guy just got no one to say we love u bro

[@furaichickendb138]

Painful watching a man who clearly could benefit from good friends deny three good men reaching their hand out in offering to be a helping hand and Michael simply doesn’t have anything left in him to trust someone else in fear of being hurt again

[@TheOnlyOneSon]

I've been in situations where people begged me to hit them up after pouring out my soul. Think they honored that? Nope Point I'm trying to make is that it's easy to volunteer on camera.... But what about when it actually is an inconvenience? Would they still drop their stuff for him? Beas has probably heard people say that a million times which is why he feels like this.

[@shahid8545]

Realest shit I've heard in a while

[@relaxitsnatural4247]

I felt those tears. I’ve cried many days in my bathroom before starting my day going to work. Before leaving my house. Before smiling right to someone’s face, answering the question “how’s your day going?” With “I’m doing alright. I can’t complain” knowing dam well, I’ve broke down. Most people don’t care about your problems and some are glad you got them because they’re glad it ain’t them dealing with ‘em. It sucks but it’s true. I hate to see my fellow brothers and sisters going through this shit because I know the pain. I’m sure the road we walk down is different for us all.. I love you guys.. 💚

Everything he said resonates with my soul...there has been so many times i find myself in a shell dont leave the house....dont have an appetite....and having people kic you while u down and make matters worst isnt what we need...everyone needs help but they have to be willing to help us cuz we dont always talk what we goin through but we will show it....

[@dbdamonstaonline]

As a black man. Im experiencing all this right now as I speak. We wasn't taught to express emotions or signs of weakness. I cry for help but no one hears me. I just wanna say I take medicine for my mental illness. Everyone over looks it and say it fine. No it ain't. I promise the thoughts we think is that we not great enough for no one not even our black women. We have so much to carry. I'm not saying it's fair but I wish we could have uplifting ways. I smile through my pain. And it's building up to the point I locked my self in a room for 5 days. I been ridicule to the point I don't even want to walk out in public

[@malcolm_rising]

I’m 22 and battling with one of the hardest times of my life with my freedom in jeopardy. I felt this heartfelt and allowed cats I thought were my dawgs to put me in an awful situation. Dudes I done looked out for, fed, and always genuinely looked out for snaking me, bad mouthing me, and wanting me to lose everything I’ve worked for. I feel this for real. It’s hard to know who really loves you friends and family. Hard to know if it’s genuine because everyone counting favors yet would ask you for the world and don’t remember that you did it out of love and you being genuine. I feel what he’s going through no doubt.

I’m not trying to get attention or anything like that with that being said, two weeks ago I told my Mom that I didn’t want to be alive anymore but I stressed to her that I would never actually commit suicide because I just won’t for me it feels like quitting which I hate. I couldn’t explain it to her but after watching the full episode and him talking about not being able or wanting to trust or talk to anyone it put everything into words that I couldn’t do two weeks ago I sent this to my mother telling her this is how I feel and she is able to understand so much more.

[@adinelewis2164]

Man I feel this in my soul. I’ve been sick physically for the loss of support and having no one to trust. He is telling the truth for so many individuals right now.

[@shaunbang]

Beasley here reminds of the final scenes in the Joker movie where he blows up ““Why is everybody so upset about these guys? If that was me dying on the sidewalk you’d walk right over me. I pass you everyday and you don’t notice me.” What’s sad is we do notice Michael Beasley. There are good people out there that want the best for him but he’s been so hurt and betrayed throughout his entire life being used, abused and exploited that now that he doesn’t have the one thing he could fall back on every night in basketball it’s like he’s completely lost his ability to live life as it’s supposed to go. He’s like a lost dog in the middle of an unknown city unwilling to trust anyone because of the pain he’s had to endure so much when there are in fact many people out there in search to save a stray and scared being. I wish the best for you Michael. I hope you get to play in the NBA for a longer time but if not I just hope you can find the right people to be around you so you can find a way a life without basketball

[@mrdiscrepancy]

I relate to his entire lifestyle. From focusing, to giving up on people due to not being able to find good people, and not partying and regularly going to social areas. I’m so tired, and I know how it feels. I know how multi-wavelength thinking operates, and this is what happens when you begin to develop thought on a different plane. His part on how fake it is being black, and the grim reality of the explicit usage of cameras, even how disrespectful people are. How people are able to make jokes about these kinds of topics is astounding, but my generation is the biggest generator of them. Being able go joke about life, death, and everything in between is and has always been prohibited to me to an extent.

[@davidjohn2534]

I can relate to this so much. I don't go out at all or even try to make friends. Sometimes being alone is better. Hope he's happy at the end of the day though. Respect to you guys for reaching out and asking him to hangout

[@ericwilliams3965]

[@emillyt6307]

This was, by far, one of the best interviews I have seen in a while. I'll be honest, I have never heard of Michael Beasley (because I don't keep up with sports) but this made me cry. I know what it's like to have no one to talk to and open up... it's lonely and it hurts. You just want to be loved, appreciated, and seen. I hope he is able to let down his walls and allow people to get in his circle. I have learned, and am still learning, what happened then was then. I don't have to go through things alone. There are good people out there who want me to succeed and be happy. The same applies to M. Beasley. I pray he finds a way to start trusting people and allow them in his circle. 🤗 We all need support/friends...

I needed this, i lost my dad to cancer i feel his pain, that "you aint got nothing left" 💯💯💯💯... thank you mike for your story

[@cadetromero1]

I felt this to the soul man! I can't help but tear up as I listen to him speak. Only reason I'm still holding together is became of my two baby girls or who know where I'd be at.

[@theculturenightnetwork316]

Everybody need help & everybody walk around like they got it all together 💯

[@mantrip2123]

His story is so powerful and resonates with people who have been scared to speak that truth!!!

[@wandyoh]

My heart is broken for this man. That's so painful to watch. I've cried like a baby!!!! I am so sorry for what he is feeling. I hope he has since gotten help. ♥️

[@kingsrise6033]

This podcast helped me let it all out bro real recognizes real

[@dheerajnihalani2430]

This phase of the athletes should be talked of more, once the done playing

[@aaronkonasik4709]

I felt, heard and see the pain in that ‘I’m tired’ check in on him and protect that man. I fear he may end his life. I hope you heal big man ❤

[@karenwilliams1442]

I pray that he gets the help that he needs. This made me cry. He's hurting so much. For those of you that considered yourself his friend, shame on you! I'd never desert my friend in time of need. Please Michael trust someone, just one person at a time, and allow them to help you please!!!! You're so deserving of so much better than what's been happening to you in your life. Learn from it, grow from it, overcome it, and live your life to the fullest! I'm sending you love and support all the way from Cali. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ YOU will be the the Victor no longer the victim! God Bless You.

I feel you Beasley…it’s crazy out here

[@msounderated]

I agree with Michael Beasley and I've been on both sides of the fence. I was the one with nothing left and I was the one that doesn't understand. Its super crazy and the pain can be so unbearable to the point were your at your wits end because not so much for not having someone, but the self shame and self value is depleted and you have no one to reach out to to escape reality to feel so small and to think that there nothing else this world has to offer you. To cry yourself to sleep or to feel that you deserve what you are experiencing because of the mistake you made. Many people have hit the bottom. I have hit rock bottom so many times throughout the years and the only person I can talk to is when I close my eyes and pray or to feel that this world is you. To literally have no hope for the future. I literally had to choose myself because no one would and to feel normal I would have escapades because I wanted to do what everyone else was doing. To feel normal to have no barriers to be free. To be loved and accepted for who you are and that no one would because the world is such a bad place. God was my only solution and family but ultimately I was alone and felt 100% like Mr. Beasley I don't trust myself and feel bad but life is going to get better. Pray and ask god for guidance, love, protection to heal your heart, mind and body. Take one day at a time and try to block and ask God for forgiveness then forgive yourself and then ask God to heal your heart, ask for a healthy mind, I'm really truly sorry you are going through your pain and trauma and your loss. God is love and that's where you should seek refuge. I'll be the person and apologize. I'm truly sorry and I will pray for you only. You deserve all blessings and I hope you gain whatever your trying to achieve if it is positive. I discovered that honesty can make you self conscious and the fear that someone could truly want you for you as you are scars and battle wounds and all. to give you a place of rest in this world to have someone to go and turn to. To love you without any motives. May God Bless you in all you do.

One of, if not the realest interview I've ever watched. Left me speachless.

[@HickeryJames]

Beas! Bro, I’m with you. I know how hurt becomes tiresome and how life and ppl put us in a whole of heartbreak. Idk you bro but I can say I love you. The honesty the passion and the truth of your heart. Is amazing. I pray you find one more ledge to pull yourself up to. God bless your mind.

[@brycemontano7786]

This is truly heartbreaking. I hope that he finds those "good people", i hope these guys can be those guys. I also hope that he can find professional help.

[@UnderConstruction1017]

[@Itsjustce7ine]

I hope that they held him up and help him get to a good space because that was definitely a cry for help

[@mrs.nasty4life714]

Big Facts, Pain Is Real... People Love 💕 you when you Dead and Gone! 1 Love

[@HeisLeg3nd]

What he said at the end is absolutely true! The only way to have peace is to create community! Safe ones. Starts with the family! We really should be trying to keep families together, to work on communities, not competing with each other over every single thing! We should be uplifting each other! We’re all we got!

[@kennethlamarkingsr9109]

I feel his pain so much. I have given my all to my kids and ex never enough. Married my soulmate she died from Covid ripped my heart out. Like B I’m tired and I just can’t go on like this. I got money,truck home paid for not happy just tired 🙏🏽

[@alvinjackson2239]

powerful message he needs to speak to the younger generation like future HOF Freddy T said. He can help the next Michael Beasley. Much respect.

[@GeoDavis1012]

He hasn't had his winning moment. He hasn't made it out yet. He still going through it. He needs help first. He needs to find those good people first and learn to trust them. He shouldn't be speaking to kids. Not in his condition. Hopefully he finds his way out because his story, with a good ending, can be impactful.

[@blazeforprez]

Every man has hit that im tired phase. We gotta keep pushing brothers. I know its tough and life is kicking our ass but we must continue to keep fighting!!!!

[@imrankkk]

This is so true across so many societies and communities. People struggle with real things and put a cover that everything is fine. Were as we all are vulnerable and need each other ... need help with life and it's challenges.
